Description | This article describes configuring an IPv6 PPPoE connection on a WAN interface where IPv4 PPPoE is already configured. |
Scope | FortiGate v7.0.X and later versions. |
Solution |
config system pppoe-interface
config system interface After enabling the DHCP, a PPPoE request will be sent from the interface wan1-pppoe to the PPPoE server.
diagnose ipv6 address list
Or:
FGT_Main # config sys interface FGT_Main (interface) # edit wan1-pppoe FGT_Main (wan1-pppoe) # get
config router static6
execute ping6-options interface wan1 execute ping6 google.com PING 2001:4860:4860::8888(2001:4860:4860::8888) 56 data bytes
If no IP addresses are received from the PPPoE server, run packet capture and debugging using the commands below.
For packet capture:
diagnose sniffer packet any 'icmp6 and ip6[40] == 134' 4 0
Note: If there are missing RAs from the ISP/upstream in a prefix delegation scenario, a default route manually configured pointing to the ISP's link-local address as the gateway is necessary to be able to reach the internet.
For debugging:
diagnose debug application pppoed -1
To stop the debugs:
diagnose debug disable diagnose debug reset |
